This Wiki site was created to help my students with grammar in my English courses. I'll offer some tips for the most common grammar issues that come up in student papers. Good writing doesn't have to be fancy or use big words. It just has to be clear and concise. When you write and review your work, ask yourself this question: "Will my reader get my point the first time he reads it?"
Good writing should be effortless to read. The work should be put in by the writer not the reader. That being said, it is also necessary to review grammar and punctuation now and then. So when you see a comment on your paper, coome here and see what I have written. Better yet, open up your handbook and look over the rules. Grammar handbooks are not meant to be read cover to cover. They are merely a resource. Look up with you need and give yourself a quick lesson.
GrammarTips is broken into sections, and they will grow and change. Many are standard tips, but some will come along as I see issues in students' writing assignments.
